Not sure they were all competent to be there; probably going to be a busy afternoon for the coastguard / ILB. Not all wearing buoyancy aids either.

Absolutely loved it. As did OH, which is always a bonus. I'm considering getting him a kayaking wetsuit to prolong the length of time he's prepared to continue.
